About this audiobook

Cool dies the moment it notices itself. The signal warps into performance, and everything once alive starts posing for an invisible camera. What felt effortless now moves like it’s being watched, measured, priced. You can hear the exact second it collapses—and once you do, it doesn’t stop.
